I know in Canada the JR is still much loved...
Correct. There are exactly 500 206s listed in the Canadian Aircraft Register, although not all are airworthy. Compare that to 397 AS350/355s. Eurocopter has substantially overtaken Bell in new sales, especially in the last few years.
However, the 206 should be around for a long time yet in Canada.
